Chapter 118: The Death of Xu Hua

  Xu Hua dragged his exhausted body, without looking back, and rushed forward. At this moment, he was almost at the limit of his physical strength and could fall down at any time.

  Life is unpredictable and things are hard to predict. One must tread carefully in order to live a longer life, these words are indeed true.

  Before, he was so spirited and vowed to destroy the Red Shadow Sect; now, he is fleeing in such a sorry state, his physical condition worse than ever.

  "I must escape back, I just escaped from danger and haven't seen Xiaoying or Luocheng yet, how can I die at this time..."

  Xu Hua ran all the way out of Dongyue City, and due to losing a lot of blood, his face looked terrible, almost relying on that persistence in his heart to support him.

  He soon left the range of Dongyue City and entered the edge of Taihang Mountains, fleeing all the way. He was also dazed and didn't know where he was running to. Now he really wanted to find a place to heal his wounds, but there was no suitable place here.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  A piercing whistling sound filled the air as a line of twenty people came rushing from the distant horizon.

  "There he is!" Someone soon spotted Xu Hua's figure, almost shouting with red eyes. Those who could catch up were already determined to die, after all, if they didn't solve the problem of Xu Hua, their family would eventually face the disaster of extinction.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  In an instant, all twenty of them flew towards Xuhua. Although Xuhua's head was dizzy and heavy, he still sensed it when they arrived beside him.

  "The vengeful spirit won't disperse, am I, Xu Hua, doomed to die here today?" Xu Hua didn't give up escaping; no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't compare to flying with the wind, but he was extremely unwilling.

  "Brother Zhao, he doesn't have the air of flight, does that mean his true energy is insufficient, not enough to support his air of flight? Our chance is still very big!" Sun Yun said.

  "Even so, we can't underestimate him, his strange flames are enough to heavily injure all of us." Zhao San Yu was neither happy nor sad, only extremely calm. He looked at Sun Yun, "If I were to die, please remember the feelings between our two families over the years and take care of my family, the Zhao's."

  "I hope we can both survive, if I die, I also hope that Brother Zhao will take care of my family." The two had already put aside everything this time to ensure they could kill Xu Hua.

  Two people have been fighting each other for many years, although they are opponents, but more like old friends. Now they join hands to fight against the enemy together, everything is full of drama, yet also the most real.

  "Who are you? I don't remember offending you." Xu Hua was dazed but still able to distinguish these people.

  "We would rather not have met you! Unfortunately, we have already offended you, and your talent is too terrifying. As long as you are still in this world, I will be unable to eat or sleep!" Zhao San Yu sighed and said.

  Unfortunately, past events have been set in stone and cannot be changed. Life has no turning back, and every wrong step requires a corresponding price to pay. If they could choose again, Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun would absolutely not lay hands on Xu Hua, but unfortunately there are no ifs...

  Xu Hua looked at the two groups of people, he didn't try to explain or promise anything. Because it was all in vain, at this time the two forces had no intention of letting him go, let alone that he was seriously injured at this moment.

  "Come on! I won't give up my life easily, I want to live on, so it's either you die or I do! I really hope that in the end, I'm the one who survives." Xu Hua was not someone who would accept his fate, he only believed in himself.

  "Kill!" "Kill!"

  Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun both let out a loud roar, the two families of martial artists behind them all attacking Xu Hua. In response, Xu Hua gave a wry smile, then raised his fist to resist the enemy. There was no other way, the "Devouring Life Technique" was almost useless at this time, and he could only rely on his own fists to fight his way out.

  Zhao and Sun's two families' martial artists were all holding onto a determination to die, completely disregarding the consumption of their true energy as well as Xu Hua's attacks. Most people were using withstanding Xu Hua's one blow to exchange for an opportunity to attack once.

  Sparkle!

  True energy splashed, Qi and blood surged wildly, Xu Hua endured one blow after another, his body became more tattered, as if it would collapse at any time, but his spirit became clearer because of this. Faced with such a situation, he could only rely on other means now.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Xu Hua smiled coldly, and immediately the surroundings began to freeze, quickly icing up the twelve people closest to Xu Hua.

  "Ah, no, run away quickly!" But when Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun realized it, it was already too late.

  In just an instant, twelve powerful martial artists turned into ice sculptures. However, the cold air was rapidly dissipating, and with the resistance of their true energy, it wouldn't take more than a dozen breaths for them to break free from the ice. But would Xu Hua give them that opportunity?

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Tick-tock, tick-tock...

  In an instant, six ice sculptures were smashed to pieces by Xu Hua, turning into bloody ice shards scattered all around. The blood of these people was still warm, and their bodies had not been completely frozen, with some parts still connected together in chunks of flesh, the entire scene was extremely gory.

  "Stop!" "Lao Liu, don't!" "Lao San!"

  Although they came with a determination to die, at this moment, looking at the death of their companions, they were roaring in anger, unable to bear the sight. When truly faced with death, they still retreated, and when truly faced with death, they were still afraid of the fear of death.

  "Hold him down quickly." Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun immediately rushed up, wanting to hold down Xu Hua.

  Tick-tock!

  Unfortunately, they were a bit far from Xu Hua and were immediately shattered by three ice sculptures. At this time, Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun had already blocked Xu Hua's path, and the other six people also surrounded him.

  "Nine have been settled, eleven remain." Xu Hua's dark pupils flashed with a fierce killing intent, and although he was almost unable to hold on, he still intimidated the group of people.

  "Their deaths were valuable, can you still resort to such means? I think the flames and cold air you wield are limited, otherwise we wouldn't be able to threaten you at all!" Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun, although grieving for their clansmen's deaths, did not lose their rationality due to anger.

  "Yes, if it weren't for the moment of life and death, I really didn't want to use it, but since you don't want to let me go, I can only choose to burn jade and stone together." Xu Hua's words were very blunt, but they indeed scared this group of people, making them not dare to take action immediately, giving him a little time to recover.

  At this time, Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun looked at each other, then burst out in a desolate and mournful laughter.

  "Brother Zhao, I am truly unwilling! Without even determining victory or defeat with you, it has come to this kind of end."

  "Life doesn't have that many choices, unless you're truly standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, otherwise there will be too much helplessness."

  "Brother Zhao, in our next life, we must be brothers!"

  "Definitely!"

  Listening to their words, Xu Hua flashed a bad feeling and his spirit tightened up.

  "Get back, all of you!" At this moment, the three people frozen by Xu Hua's Xuanming cold air had already thawed out. Zhao San Yu and Sun Yun immediately ordered everyone to retreat. At the same time, the two attacked Xu Hua.

  Xu Hua was helpless, what was destined to come would still come, this battle was unavoidable, if you don't die then I will perish.

  Sun Yun and Zhao San Yu attacked Xu Hua from both sides, both of whom were strong in the late Wu Emperor period. At this time, Xu Hua, who was seriously injured, reacted slowly for a moment and was hugged by Sun Yun.

  "Brother Zhao, hurry up!"

  Xu Hua was tightly hugged by Sun Yun and couldn't push him away. He understood their intention and roared, "NO!!!"

  Zhao San Yu immediately swung his fist and heavily smashed towards Xu Hua.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Like thunder booming on divine weapons, buzzing with sound.

  Pfft!

  A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Xu Hua gritted his teeth to release the already dim flame once again.

  Boom!

  Flames erupted again, and people from the Zhao and Sun families in the distance immediately cried out: "The master of the house!"

  "Hah! Hah! Hah! Brother Zhao, I'll take my leave first!" Sun Yun's entire body was engulfed in flames, and the fire immediately penetrated his internal organs. However, at this moment, he burst out laughing wildly.

  Boom!

  Flames shot out in all directions, and the people from the Zhao and Sun families who were watching from a distance all covered their eyes with their hands. The intense light that burst forth was dazzling to them. Sun Yun had self-destructed, choosing this method to eliminate Xu Hua, the great scourge of his family, at this moment.

  Almost half a breath later, another self-explosion sounded, that was Zhao San Yu.

  "I refuse to accept this!!!" This was Xu Hua's final roar, could it be that he really had to die? He had persisted for so long, and seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope to escape, but at this moment, the two powerful warriors from the late stages of the Martial Emperor realm self-destructed.

  The explosion's range was large enough that within fifty zhang of Xu Hua as the center, everything was a blur and nothing could be seen clearly.

  In the distance, people from both the Zhao and Sun families shouted out in unison. "Master of the house, don't!"

  It's too late now, everything has become a foregone conclusion.

  The explosion was heard from a distance, and in the sky not far away, two young people who were flying suddenly heard this intense explosion.

  "Ling Xuan brother, it seems like someone self-destructed in that direction!" The slender young man on the left looked towards the direction where the explosion sound came from.

  "Go take a look!" The young man known as Ling Xuan said calmly.

  The two immediately changed their flight direction and headed towards Xu Hua's location.

  "The master is dead! The master is dead!" These people muttered in a low voice, their faces somewhat dispirited.

  "Everyone, cheer up! The master did it to protect the family by choosing to die together with that person! We should cheer up and take good care of the family, otherwise we would be unworthy of the master's sacrifice."

  "That's right, the Red Shadow Sect is treacherous and won't truly accept us. If it wasn't for their trap this time, our family head wouldn't have died. We must hurry back, perhaps at this moment the Red Shadow Sect has already made a move against the Sun and Zhao families."

  "Well said, hurry back!"

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

  The nine of them left immediately, and no one else went to care about Xu Hua anymore. They were certain that Xu Hua was already dead. After all, a self-explosion by a late-stage Martial Emperor was equivalent to an attack by an early-stage Martial Reverend, and two late-stage Martial Emperors exploding at the same time would almost certainly kill even an early-stage Martial Reverend. Not to mention that Xu Hua wasn't even a Martial Reverend, but rather someone who was severely injured, no one believed he could survive.
